Apocalypse: Extreme Cold Descends, Goddess Offers Her Refuge
Chapter 40 Prices Doubled!
Luo Tian had personally experienced the terrible fate that came with being kind-hearted.
How could we possibly repeat the same mistake?
“If you give her the food, next time she can lead a bunch of people in and chop you up to make soup.”
Luo Tian said coldly.
In her previous life, Li Rou didn't live to see that dark moment; she jumped to her death.
But he remembers it vividly.
Hearing him say that, Li Rou turned pale with fright and realized her foolishness: "I'm sorry, Luo Tian, I won't do it again!"
Wealth is not exposed.
She understood this principle; she had just heard the other person talking about their child, so she couldn't help but want to help them.
"Go hungry tomorrow, and you won't get any food. Learn from this lesson, so that all the nutrients don't end up in one place."
Luo Tian said coldly.
If something is wrong, then there must be punishment.
"Oh!"
Li Rou said shamefully, her little head almost buried in her chest.
However, she was secretly relieved.
It's good that Luo Tian didn't dislike her. Next time, she'll have to think before she speaks. It's just one day of hunger, but the other residents can't get a hot meal every day!
She's living a life that's practically paradise!
Within the group.
"Please, everyone, I'm willing to pay ten times, no, a hundred times the price for your food! If that's still not enough, a thousand times will do..."
At Xia Lan's persistent pleas.
Finally, a homeowner responded to her.
"Well, since you're so pitiful, I'll help you out. But I don't have much food, so I can only sell you two bags of bread. I'll charge you six thousand yuan."
One male homeowner was attracted by the potential profits of thousands of times.
They've agreed to sell food.
Before the apocalypse, two bags of bread cost at most a few dollars.
After more than a week of heavy snow that closed the roads, prices skyrocketed a thousandfold!
Although the transaction was voluntary, the outrageous price still caused panic among the group members.
"Hey... are you kidding me? Two bags of bread are so expensive? Wow, that's a month's salary for me!"
"Damn, if I had known, I should have stocked up on several large boxes of bread beforehand. Wouldn't I have made a fortune selling them now?"
"@Zhou An, you're taking advantage of the situation! You dare to sell a few dollars' worth of bread for six thousand dollars? You're even more of a profiteer than a profiteer!!"
Besides the homeowners who were shocked by the exorbitant price, there were also homeowners who, whether out of disapproval or envy, came out to criticize Zhou An, who sold the goods to Xia Lan Bakery.
Zhou An immediately became displeased and retorted, "How am I a profiteer? I didn't force her to buy it; she herself said she wanted to buy it at a thousand times the price!"
"Yes, yes, it was my own choice. Please don't blame Zhou An!" Xia Lan pleaded humbly.
She shouted in the group for a long time, but only Zhou An was willing to sell food. Although the price was very expensive, Xia Lan was still very satisfied.
They quickly defended the other party, fearing that the other party might change their mind!
Other homeowners might still have some food left and weren't having such a hard time, but Xia Lan's family had absolutely nothing left. Having experienced hunger before, she knew all too well the importance of food!
If you lose money, you can earn it again!
The most urgent thing is to make sure she and the child have food to fill their stomachs!
Two bags of bread, if we're careful, will last us a week!
"@Xia Lan, I have a few extra packets of instant noodles at home, I'll sell them to you too. As for the price... it'll be 10,000 yuan."
"Damn, you're shameless! You dare to ask for 10,000 yuan for a few packs of instant noodles! Xia Lan, I have half a box of chocolates here, they're really filling, why don't you buy mine, I'll only charge you 30,000 yuan!"
"Damn it, those two guys upstairs are shameless! Xia Lan, ignore them. Just buy mine, I'll give you a 95% discount..."
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in the group chat.
They were all vying to promote their products, probably believing that the snow disaster would subside in the near future.
Now is the perfect time to make a fortune, and then you can buy any food you want.
It's just a matter of going hungry; it's a sure-fire way to make money.
"Damn, everyone's always complaining about starving to death and having no food at home, but now they're selling packs of food one after another."
"Could it be that my family is so poor that we're eating bread crumbs???"
"I don't even have breadcrumbs..."
Some of the homeowners, who were lacking food, said in great shock.
They wanted to buy some food, but the prices were just too high! Some people bought their houses with down payments and didn't have much savings to begin with. They also had to pay mortgages every month, so they simply couldn't afford food at such high prices.
"madness."
Looking at the group of homeowners who only had money in their eyes and were incredibly greedy, Luo Tian couldn't help but sneer.
It seems that Aunt Wang only tricked some of the residents out of their food; many others still have food secretly hidden in their homes.
This is also normal.
If it were possible for a mere neighborhood committee member like Aunt Wang to swindle food from all the residents of the building, that would be truly outrageous.
There will always be selfish, clever people.
"Wait! Don't rush to sell. I'll take all your food, plus an extra five thousand yuan on top of your original price!! I'll buy it all, however much you have!!"
A wealthy man named Lu Teng suddenly sent a message in the group.
His family is in the export business, and his parents' company is said to be going public in the United States; they are very wealthy.
One stone caused a thousand waves!
Adding 5,000 to the original price means that a bag of instant noodles that originally cost two yuan can now be sold for seven thousand yuan!
Five bags would cost nearly 100,000 yuan!
That's equivalent to some people's annual salary!
"So that's who's rich! Turns out he's a tycoon! I bet he gets hundreds of thousands in pocket money every month!"
"Brother Lu, I'm selling you!!"
"Me too! I still have some food at home, I'll pack it up and sell it too!!"
"I'm sorry, Xia Lan, I wanted to help you too, but he gave just too much!!"
"An irresistible price!!"
The owners who had previously said they would sell to Xia Lan Food all changed their minds immediately after hearing Lu Teng's words, and they all rushed to sell the food at a higher price.
Xia Lan panicked immediately, saying in despair, "How could you do this? You promised to sell it to me! @Lu Teng, my family really has no food left, please don't argue with me, I don't have much money left either!"
Lu Teng said nonchalantly, "My family is out of food too, don't blame me. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being poor! And those who want to sell, hurry up, my word always stands!"
He didn't care about a few hundred thousand.
It has to be said that rich people will never have a bad life, even in the apocalypse.
Xia Lan continued to plead in the group chat, but no one was willing to pay attention to her at this time.
Nothing is more despairing than seeing hope only to have it shattered. It's like going from heaven to hell.
"Ha, this is the last time money can still make a difference."
Looking at the messages in the group, Luo Tian couldn't help but say disdainfully.
If money were useful, all the food he had stored in his spatial storage would have been sold long ago.
Those who sell food will soon regret it.
Because food can save lives, while money is useless except for burning firewood.
